We are Car People
We are national & Oregon State certified appraisers and car people! Owning, collecting and working on our special vehicles.

We have decades of experience appraising all types of vehicles.
Why have your vehicle appraised
• SELLING A COLLECTOR VEHICLE An appraisal can be a tremendous help when selling a collector vehicle.
• INSURANCE Protect your investment of time and money. You should have input on how much your vehicle is insured for. Have a professional appraisal on file with your insurance company and have an endorsement to your policy indicating the type and/or amount of coverage your vehicle has.
• INSURANCE CLAIMS On occasion, an insurance company and its insured do not agree on the amount of the loss. At this time, either may demand an appraisal where each party selects an appraiser to evaluate and declare separately the actual cash value of the loss.
• DONATION / GIFT The IRS requires an appraisal for any substantial gift to a charity or eligible museum, etc. This is for a tax write off.
• COLLATERAL The value of your collector vehicle helps to increase your "net worth". Many banks require this on collector car loans.
• DIVORCE Yes, the "D" word. Don't ever let a court or some attorney determine what you vehicle is worth.
• ESTATE Our appraisal helps prevent your heirs from being "ripped off" when they try to sell your special vehicles.
• BUYING A COLLECTOR VEHICLE A pre-purchase appraisal could protect you against overpaying for a vehicle. We also inspect the car thoroughly and give you a condition grade report.
• CLAIM SETTLEMENT If you are arguing with an insurance company over the value of your vehicle after a loss then an appraisal NOW can be a big help. We determine Diminished and Pre Accident Values.
• FRAUD Our appraisal can help build your case.
In the state of Oregon a vehicle appraisers license is required and authorizes an individual to appraise vehicles.
BE CERTAIN YOUR APPRAISER IS LICENSED
or you may be wasting money on an appraisal that will not be honored.
